United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Oh, I am looking at September; I'm sorry. Now, let's see.
The 9th of May was on a Thursday, and that's when he got the apartment,
the 9th of May, and he moved in the next day; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. That's right, and he came back to my house on that
Saturday morning.
Mr. JENNER. That's the 11th?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; and Marina and Mrs. Paine were coming in on Saturday,
and they arrived there about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, around that
time, and then he took all the things he had out in the garage over to
the apartment.
Mr. JENNER. Were you present when he did that?
Mrs. MURRET. I went to see the apartment.
Mr. JENNER. But were you present when he took the things out of your
garage?
Mrs. MURRET. You mean in the garage?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. No; I wasn't.
Mr. JENNER. You didn't get any better look at all the things that he
had in the garage than you had that first day when your husband brought
that stuff from the bus station and it was put in the corner of the
garage?
Mrs. MURRET. No; I didn't. I was busy on the inside of the house when
he took all that stuff over to the apartment, because we were all
anxious to see--not all, but Marilyn and myself, wanted to see the
apartment, so inasmuch as we had to bring the things up there, he
loaded the car.
Mr. JENNER. Your car?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; our car. Mr. Murret drove the car up there.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see them put the things in the car?
Mrs. MURRET. No; but they did put everything in the car.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see them do that?
Mrs. MURRET. No; but Mr. Murret helped. I knew he was doing that. He
had to do that. I didn't do it. I just wanted to go over there that
first day and see the apartment, so I was trying to finish up inside,
and I just noticed that he was loading the car, and that's something
else, the reason why Mr. Murret is considered just such a gentleman. No
woman in his presence ever picks up a package or anything like that.
Mr. JENNER. A woman never picks up a package in the presence of your
husband?
Mrs. MURRET. That's right, he always does it. So anyway, we brought Lee
up to the apartment, and he was so happy about the place. He thought it
was a most beautiful place, and we thought it was nice too, but after
they got everything out of the car, we just left.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see them taking things out of the car and bringing
them into the apartment?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; but we didn't help them.
Mr. JENNER. Was your husband helping to unload the car?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, yes; he was taking the things out himself.
Mr. JENNER. You saw him doing that?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, yes; they had a lot of locker space in that apartment,
and Lee was putting everything in this one big locker, I think.
Mr. JENNER. Did your husband have any luggage?
Mrs. MURRET. Luggage?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; I think he had some suitcases.
Mr. JENNER. He had some suitcases?
